Zusammenfassung:While disability theology has flourished over the last two decades, disability missiology has been relatively neglected. Moreover, given disability theology 's strong emphasis on the experience of persons with disabilities and because disability is experienced differently across cultures, there is a need for a contextual Asian disability missiology. To further this discourse, the article summarizes some key findings from existing disability missiology scholarship. Then three factors that must be considered in constructing an Asian disability missiology are identified. Three case studies of different disability missions 'ministries in Singapore are used as examples. In this way, this article aims to stimulate further discussion over Asian perspectives on disability missiology.
